Now, let... 01:58 There's a caption at the bottom here, there is a caption. 02:00 It says order your Elixir 02:02 now for $29.95 at your local pharmacist. 02:06 Wait a minute, okay, 02:08 let's, so, 30 days... 02:09 30 days Lose 30 pounds. 02:11 No, no, no, no... 30 pounds. 02:14 30 pounds. 02:15 Seven days. 02:17 I just had it just reverse. Hah, hah. 02:18 You don't have to give up your favorite foods, 02:19 no exercising, $29.95 at your favorite drug store. 02:22 That's right. 02:23 You know, now folks, let me say this now, 02:25 we've done this at our seminars, 02:27 that we travel throughout this nation. 02:29 And one lady in the audience 02:32 which ready to buy the product. 02:34 Now, of course we made this up, 02:35 I say, lady the product does not exist, 02:38 she says oh, she was just so disappointed. 02:41 It is shows you how, how desperate people are. 02:43 Yes, so gullible, 02:44 so desperate that people really are. 02:45 You know, so again this all clear, 02:47 but people just so desperate 02:48 because this weight issue is, 02:52 has reached center stage now in this country, 02:54 we're the fattest nation on earth. 02:55 So, not something that we like to brag about 02:57 but it's true, still just the same. 02:59 Now, with that in mind, 03:00 I'm sure this comes with, 03:02 with some risk factors with that weight gain. 03:05 Well, believe it or not, it has a caption it says, 03:07 the new 21st Century illnesses. Okay. 03:09 Talks about the fact that the average 03:10 American is gaining one pound 03:12 every one hundred and eighty days. 03:15 Now, just an extra ten pound. 03:17 Just a extra ten? Extra ten. 03:19 Increase your heart rate. Okay. 03:22 Which can cause heart disease. 03:24 Make you have high blood pressure. 03:26 High blood pressure. 03:27 And then it's also responsible for some cancers. 03:29 And then it can also shorten your life. 03:31 Just ten extra pound or so. 03:32 Just ten extra pound. Yes. 03:34 Now, there is also another caption that says here, 03:36 just you're five times now 03:38 more likely to develop Osteoarthritis. 03:40 Five times, my goodness. 03:41 Low back pain, diabetes and Gallbladder disease. 03:47 I think we're living large. 03:48 I think we are living large, 03:51 and again, you know, 03:52 now of course you know that 03:54 this has reached center stage, 03:55 when we have now TV Series. 04:00 One it's called the, the biggest loser, 04:03 it's a series, 04:05 we just saw one just few weeks ago, 04:07 The Fat March. 04:09 The Fat March, yeah. 04:10 And now you see these series going on in the television 04:12 for us people losing weight. 04:14 You know that this has reached center stage 04:15 and so therefore we have entitled this program 04:18 "Living Large," 04:20 this is part of the winning weight series "Living Large". 04:22 So, this is something that we're gonna deal with. 04:24 We're gonna try to reverse 04:25 those odds of people gaining the weight, 04:27 because again normal weight is now abnormal. 04:32 65 % of people are overweight or obese. 04:35 Are there any clinical studies 04:37 that talk about the heart risk? 04:39 Oh, definitely, the American cancer society 04:42 just published it's largest study 04:44 ever done on overweight 04:46 and obesity as far as cancer is concerned. 04:48 Now, this study is the largest one done to-date, 04:51 date of this program, of 900,000 people. 04:55 They covered these people for 16 years, 04:58 they discovered that those who are overweight 05:00 and obese had a higher risk of cancer, 05:05 particularly breast cancer. 05:06 Because, see the fat cells also stimulate cancer growth. 05:11 And also they have more circulating estrogen 05:15 throughout the body. 05:16 So, again these individuals, 05:18 breast cancer was greatly enhanced when weight 05:21 or overweight was on their body. 05:23 So, again that's one of major study that 05:25 just came out with American Cancer Society. 05:29 I guess the location of fat is that really important 05:31 when we're talking about overweight 05:34 as we look at the individuals here in America. 05:37 Yes, the location of where the fat is 05:39 on the body is critical because you know, 05:42 you don't see a whole lot of people going 05:44 around with fat toe nails 05:45 and fat fingers or whatever. 05:47 But where the fat is located 05:50 is very critical to one's overall health. 05:53 Let's go to our first graph, 05:54 and let's see where the fat is located at this time. 05:58 Now, you have here, where is the fat? 05:59 Well, Retroperitoneal, 06:02 well now this is in the back of the body. 06:04 You don't see it, you don't see, 06:06 too many people with fat backs, 06:07 but again this fat back there, the retroperitoneal. 06:10 But that's not as important as the fat 06:13 that's in front of the body, 06:15 because one fat is the subcutaneous 06:17 or for short, subcu. 06:20 The other one is the visceral fat 06:22 and of course being in surgery 06:23 for several years sometimes... I thank you of that graphic, 06:27 that when we do surgical procedures 06:30 particularly abdominal surgery, 06:32 and the person is very obese. 06:34 Then we have to really get a very large set 06:37 of instrument trays with long handles. 06:40 And so they need more anesthesia, 06:42 surgical procedure's more difficult to do 06:45 because you have to cut through more fat tissue 06:48 as they're longer and more complications with that. 06:51 So, with that in mind 06:52 but the fat if it's around the stomach 06:55 or the belly area is more critical. 06:58 Now, again another clinical study 07:00 as far as diabetes is concerned, 07:01 again they discover that 07:03 when the fat is around the belly area, 07:06 if the waist is 34 waist for the man, 07:09 then you have a 70 % chance of getting diabetes. Wow. 07:13 If your waist is 34. Okay. 07:15 If your waist is 36, it's doubled. 07:19 If the waist is 38, 07:21 it's tripled become a diabetic. 07:23 If your waist is over 40 inches, it quadruples. 07:28 So, therefore it's not so much the fat 07:32 but where the fat is located in the belly area. 07:35 Also Colorectal cancer, 07:36 of course when the fat is around the belly area, 07:39 the subcu of visceral fat 07:41 that we saw in the graphic there, 07:43 there also stimulates 07:44 what we call growth like insulin hormone. 07:46 Which also triggers cancer cells to metastasize 07:51 or to divide. 07:52 So, where the fat is located is also critical 07:55 for the overall health as well. 07:57 And that was done on the, 07:59 about 27,000 individuals and it was published 08:02 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 08:04 as far as Colorectal cancer and also diabetes as well. 08:07 I know one of the things we been seeing a lot of, 08:09 and we're talking about adults, 08:10 we certainly need to talk about 08:12 what's going on with children 08:13 and that childhood obesity. Yes. 08:15 Because we're seeing more 08:16 and more of the major killer diseases 08:19 actually now in childhood, 08:21 where you, you never saw heart disease 08:23 and diabetes and, 08:26 and even some types of cancers. 08:27 That's true. In children, young children. Right. 08:30 Teenagers, all right. Right. 08:32 And we're seeing more and more of that 08:33 because of the obesity factor. 08:35 Talk a little bit about that. 08:36 Yes, childhood obesity now is 08:38 now has reached center stage as well. 08:40 And now there are several states 08:42 now in this country, 08:43 United States, in this country is 08:45 now targeting the school cafeterias. 08:49 All right, we saw a program just a few months ago 08:52 by these people going through these school cafeterias 08:55 and you see on the menu of the school cafeterias, 08:58 French fries, pizzas and cheese fries 09:03 and onion rings and, 09:05 and everything was simply brown 09:09 on a child's plate at the school cafeterias. 09:11 So, now about over 14 states now are targeting 09:14 and have a program designed to target 09:17 these school cafeterias. 09:18 And not only that, but also your cartoons, 09:21 you have the Shrek, 09:22 the Simpsons and Spiderman, 09:24 they are now emphasizing of foods 09:27 that are high in fat, 09:29 high in sugar, high in salt. 09:32 So, therefore the child watch these cartoon characters 09:36 and of course they take it in by that, 09:37 go to grocery stores 09:39 and of course the cereals are at the bottom shelf, 09:41 where they can see at eye level, 09:43 where they are going to pick that. 09:44 And so again, and we need to understand that 09:47 if a child increases their fat cells, 09:51 then is going to be more difficult 09:53 to lose weight in adult stage. 09:56 Because whatever you get in fat cells in adolescent, 10:01 you keep it. 10:02 So, therefore we want to target childhood obesity 10:04 and keep that down below the body mass index, 10:08 which we'll talk about that later on as well. 10:10 One of the things that I'm very, 10:11 I'm very interested and I'm excited about, 10:13 is that they are now going into the school system 10:15 and they're making some changes. Yes, they are. 10:17 And they have taken out a lot of the soda machines 10:19 and the candy machines. 10:21 That need to be out of way. 10:22 Because you can't expect that the child is gonna 10:23 actually when they see that 10:25 they're gonna automatically want it, 10:26 they're gonna automatically want it. 10:28 I even remember when people were asking me 10:29 at one time about doing children nutrition programs. 10:32 That's true, I remember. And I kept saying, 10:33 well the child is not buying the food, 10:35 it's the parents buying the food. 10:36 The child, yeah child is not buying it. 10:37 So, we need to address 10:39 the parents first. That's true. 10:40 And then we can bring the children as well. That's true. 10:43 Because actually they can't go home and tell their mom, 10:44 they don't really want potato chips anymore. 10:46 There you go. Not that they would say that. Okay. 10:49 How about biblical examples, 10:51 what does the Bible have to say 10:52 about obesity and overweight? 10:55 Yes, the Bible has to say quite a bit about 10:58 overweight and obesity. 11:00 There is 1 Samuel 4:18 what the Bible talks about 11:04 Eli the priest being heavy. 11:08 Judges 3:17, King Eglon was a very fat man, all right. 11:15 So, therefore people there in biblical days 11:18 were also living large. 11:22 But I want to read a text here that 11:23 maybe I open it to a lot of people, 11:26 you may want to write this one down. 11:28 And I believe it's found in Deuteronomy 32 11:34 and this is a text that is an eye opener to me. 11:40 I'm going to read the text and I'm going to explain it. 11:42 Deuteronomy Chapter 32 and verse 15. 11:46 Listen to these words, folks, 11:47 it's an eye opener. 11:49 "But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked, 11:57 thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, 12:03 thou art covered with fatness, Jeshurun." 12:08 Now, what's interesting about this text is, 12:10 this is not a person named Jeshurun, 12:13 this is not a person. Okay. 12:15 This is figurative language. 12:17 Jeshurun is a symbol for God's chosen people Israel. 12:23 As matter of fact some of your new translations 12:25 use the word Israel in places of the word Jeshurun. 12:28 So, this is symbolic. Okay. 12:30 But God is showing his displeasure 12:32 against his chosen people, 12:34 and he uses this type of language 12:37 to describe his displeasure. 12:39 Now, doesn't mean that God doesn't like 12:40 people who are overweight or obese. Right. 12:43 He likes those who are 375 pounds 12:46 just as much as those who are 148 pounds. That's true. 12:50 So, don't misunderstand that, 12:52 but again God uses this type of language 12:54 to show his displeasure against his chosen people. 12:58 Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked, 13:00 doesn't mean that he kicked the bucket, 13:01 it means that he kicked 13:03 against the bricks in rebellion, 13:04 that's what that text means. 13:06 So, again this is a biblical examples of 13:07 people living large and God also uses 13:10 this to describe His children, people as well. 13:12 You mentioned earlier about the fact of certain times 13:15 when you can actually lay fat down 13:17 or put fat down in a body system. 13:19 And you said that if you get it 13:21 when you're younger it's hard to get rid of it 13:23 when you're older. Yes. 13:25 And so when we're thinking about times really fat down, 13:29 we know that of course in childhood 13:31 and then we have the adolescence. 13:33 And then of course if we lay it down as a child, 13:36 I remember back in a day, that's back in a day 13:39 when they used to say that, you know the child is real... 13:41 Now, for those who don't know that type of language, 13:43 she means sometime ago. 13:45 Yes. Okay. 13:46 If a child was born real heavy 13:48 or you fed a lot of milk or food to the baby 13:50 and the baby got real fat, 13:51 you thought that was a wonderful, joyous... 13:52 Yeah, baby is nice and nice and chunky. Right. Yes. 13:55 That's not, that's not true anymore 13:56 Okay, yes It's not true anymore 13:58 Now, now, let's talk about now 13:59 because we want to change the language here, folks. 14:01 This is the winning weight series. 14:03 And what we emphasize about is losing weight. 14:06 We want to change that to 14:08 how can we best shrink fat cells. 14:13 So, now let's take a little demo here, 14:16 honey, you got a balloon or something like that. 14:17 Oh, I just do because... 14:19 Let's demonstrate how a fat cell enlarges his cell. 14:22 Well, you know my friend used to believe that 14:24 you know you can, you have this weight on 14:26 and then you exercise a lot and drop, 14:29 you know, exercise and eat less food 14:30 and then of course the fat cells go away, 14:33 unfortunately they do not. 14:34 Fat cells are fat cells now what they usually do is 14:38 they just get larger, like this. 14:45 So, now if we feed fat cells, fat, 14:48 and we get more into that, the fat cells get large. 14:51 Now, now let's, let's hold that, honey, 14:52 hold that balloon right there, that's a fat cell. 14:54 Now, folks guess what a fat cell 14:57 can only get so large, 14:59 once that fat cell reaches maximum capacity 15:03 guess what folks 15:04 that fat cell begins to birth baby fat cell. 15:14 Where there's baby fat cell if it's being fat, 15:18 a lot of fat and other things like that, 15:20 this baby fat cell gets larger 15:22 to it's maximum capacity 15:24 and this baby fat cell will birth another baby fat cell. 15:28 So, now we have a generation of fat cells. 15:31 And when we discover that in adolescents 15:34 when we have these fat cells in our system at a small age, 15:37 we keep it. 15:39 Therefore in adult age it is lot more harder 15:41 because we have more fat cells to shrink, 15:43 so we want to shrink the fat cells. 15:45 Well, what happens is that as we lose weight, 15:47 the thing that's a blessing is.. 15:48 It just be reversed 15:50 The fat cells don't go away but it does. 15:51 It goes down. It shrinks inside. 15:53 So, what we wanna do is demonstrate 15:55 how can we best shrink fat cells, 15:59 all right, very good. 16:00 Well, what about some of those labels out there 16:02 and I guess that's really important thing... 16:03 Yeah, let's, let's, look at the label. 16:05 Honey, I think we have a graphic of label, 16:07 let's walk through the label 16:08 and see what about those labels. 16:10 Let's read that label, emphasizing fat... 16:11 You know we're looking at the label, 16:12 you want to be reminded once again that a half a cup, 16:15 this is four servings in this particular item 16:17 and half a cup actually has 200 and 60 calories, 16:24 of which 120 are in fat. 16:28 That's half a cup now. 16:29 Half a cup and then it's 13 grams of fat total 16:32 which means at that particular item 16:34 is not a good item to get. 16:35 Any time you see something is half of that amount. 16:38 So, when you going to the store 16:39 you want to read those labels, 16:41 that's so important. Read those labels. 16:42 And when you see anything that's half of the, 16:43 half of the calories in fat 16:46 then you want to leave that there. 16:47 Okay. Okay. 16:48 And I think that's very important because this, 16:50 what we call a national registry of weight loss. 16:54 And it's about 3000 people 16:56 and you have to lose at least 30 pounds 16:58 to keep it out for one year. 17:00 And those people who are part of this 17:02 national registry of weight loss. 17:04 The main thing about that group is they read labels 17:08 particularly the fat grams. 17:09 So, again the read labels is a very good 17:12 and we challenge you to start reading those labels. 17:15 Now, if you read labels for a long period of time 17:17 at a grocery store you may in the wrong area. 17:19 Too many ingredients written there. 17:21 Because you know apples and oranges 17:22 don't have labels, so you know... 17:24 Leave it as the vegetables. 17:25 Okay, that's good. Okay, okay. 17:26 Well, what are some of the best diet books 17:28 that are in the market then? 17:29 Well, there's lot of diet books out there. 17:31 You have the Volume Matrix 17:32 and you have also the Fat?, 17:33 and we can name on and on. 17:35 But I think the best diet book 17:38 out there is God's word. 17:41 And so let's go to our first graphic 17:42 because when God made mankind, 17:44 He gave mankind His best diet. 17:47 So, let's go to our first graphic 17:48 and see what God gave for mankind the best diet. 17:51 Here this, the first diet. 17:53 This is also in our website, hseminars.com. 17:55 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant, 18:01 underscore the word plant on the face of the whole earth 18:04 and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. 18:08 They will be yours for food." 18:10 This is the first diet before sin. 18:13 All right, so fruit meaning not only the fruit, 18:16 but also the nuts too, 18:17 what a tree produces that includes the fruit. 18:20 Now after sin God added something to that diet. 18:23 Let's go to our last graphic, 18:25 let's see what God added to that. 18:26 In addition, I will produce thorns and thistles for you, 18:30 and you will eat the plants of the field. 18:34 So, now we have what we call a plant based diet. 18:40 Very little fat, though a lot of fruits 18:42 and vegetables have lot of water content, 18:45 has more volume to it. 18:46 So, God's plant based diet's 18:48 the best diet going for mankind. 18:49 For weight loss, for weight management 18:51 and also to shrink those fat cells. 18:54 And so we talk about that Living Large, 18:56 then we really need to talk about 18:58 what we're going to be doing on some of our programs 19:00 really continuing with this particular subject. Okay. 19:02 And I know you're wondering to yourself, 19:04 is she going to fix anything today? 19:06 The answer is yes. 19:08 We're going into the kitchen 19:09 and we're going to fix a Bean Tortilla Bake. 19:11 Get your paper and your pencil 19:13 and meet us in the kitchen. |
